Boundless black energy erupted from Ye Ling's body, its terrifying might spreading outwards, directly crushing the surrounding space.
At this moment, Ye Ling seemed to be the sole ruler between heaven and earth, with everything in the void compelled to submit to him!
"Brain," seeing Ye Ling's current state, couldn't help but speak gravely, "As expected, Ye Ling, you are a calamity. Your powers are enough to threaten everything in the void and its dark side.
Today, even if I have to risk my life, to give my all, I will extinguish you here!"
"Shut up!!!"
Ye Ling roared, a torrent of black energy erupting from within him, instantly dyeing the entire space black. Numerous supervisors in the arena melted away at that moment.
Even the humanoid supervisor who stood upon the Wuxing Demon God did not escape this fate, directly melting into a puddle of blood on the spot.
Even "Brain" did not have time to resist before his massive form began to be corroded by Ye Ling's black energy.
"This is before its full unsealing, and it already possesses such power?"
"Brain" was terrified by Ye Ling's formidable power, a hint of panic appearing in its eyes.
It suddenly realized that its current strength might not be enough to subdue Ye Ling in his true form.
It had overestimated itself.
However, just as "Brain" was unsure how to deal with Ye Ling, a multitude of runes suddenly appeared around Ye Ling, who was enveloped in black energy.
"That is!"
"Brain's" pupils contracted slightly upon seeing those runes. Before it could react, the runes formed a massive cage, trapping Ye Ling within and suppressing the black energy around him.
Ye Ling's power rapidly waned, the darkened space quickly returned to normal, and the black energy dissipated just as swiftly.
Soon, Ye Ling returned to his normal state, the runes suppressing his power vanishing.
Ye Ling gasped for breath, his blood-red eyes gradually clearing.
At this moment, Ye Ling regained consciousness, the throbbing headache disappearing, and no trace of fear remained in his heart.
"Was that... my power just now? It was that strong?" Ye Ling looked at his hands, his eyes filled with deep confusion.
When enveloped by the black energy, Ye Ling felt as if he possessed infinite power, as if he could tear apart everything he saw, even the void, with a mere flick of his finger!
Simultaneously, Ye Ling also saw many memories. These memories seemed to belong to him, yet also not his...
However, after the runes appeared, those memories receded like a tide, and Ye Ling couldn't recall even the slightest detail.
But even though the memories faded, the emotions they brought remained in Ye Ling's heart.
Anger, sadness, hatred, fear...
Complex emotions intertwined within Ye Ling, leaving him mentally dazed.
Furthermore, the black energy Ye Ling had unleashed had vanished without a trace. Even after carefully examining his entire body, Ye Ling could not find the slightest hint of that black energy.
This was the first time Ye Ling had encountered such a situation.
"Hahaha! So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"
Suddenly, "Brain's" laughter drew Ye Ling's attention.
Ye Ling looked up at the massive head slowly recovering between heaven and earth and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Brain" laughed heartily, "I'm laughing at some people who overestimate themselves and try to defy fate! I'm also laughing at myself, merely a pawn of those people... It turns out everything I did was prearranged, and my existence is meaningless!"
Ye Ling frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Brain" looked at Ye Ling, its massive eyes gradually turning red, and roared, "Ye Ling, I am merely a chess piece meant to propel you forward."
"Your life is an experimental game. Everything about you has been arranged long ago. Your life has no variables, and I am merely a stumbling block on your path of progress... You are laughable and detestable, but I am laughable and pathetic!"
"This stumbling block could be me, 'Brain,' or anything else... No wonder Bai Yue looked at me with such pity."
Listening to "Brain's" words, Ye Ling's frown deepened...
An experimental game?
'Is my life an experiment? An experiment of good and evil, or someone else's experiment?'
'Where did that power that didn't belong to me erupt from? Why did the runes actively suppress that power?'
Ye Ling's mind was in chaos, but everything at this moment was like a dense fog in the darkness for Ye Ling; he couldn't find any direction.
"Brain" continued, "However... I do not believe in fate. Even if those important figures treat me as a pawn and have set my ending, but... Ye Ling, I will definitely kill you here today!"
"My actions might not overturn their chessboard or end our tragedy, but... I will do my utmost to stir up some ripples for them in this experiment that allows no variables!"
Boom!!!
As soon as "Brain" finished speaking, the colossal head standing between heaven and earth exploded with a deafening roar. Blinding radiance instantly enveloped Ye Ling, causing him to instinctively shield his eyes with his arm.
When the blinding light gradually subsided, Ye Ling only heard thunderous cheers.
Ye Ling slowly moved his arm away, his eyes gradually adjusting to the light, only to find himself standing in the arena.
And in the stands, various types of supervisors were seated.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the 'Brain's' Arena!"
Suddenly, a booming announcer appeared in the center of the arena. Ye Ling looked over and found that the announcer bore a strong resemblance to "Brain."
Before Ye Ling could figure out what was happening, a spotlight shone upon him.
The announcer, who looked like "Brain," introduced loudly, "First, let us welcome our star contestant, the Primordial Chaos Sovereign, Emperor Ancestor Ye Ling!"
As the announcer's introduction concluded, thunderous cheers erupted from the stands, with countless supervisors shouting for Ye Ling.
Then, another spotlight shone on the other side. Ye Ling looked over and saw the Wuxing Demon God, his face filled with terror, standing under the spotlight.
The announcer continued, "Our second challenger today, the Lord from the Void's Dark Side, the Wuxing Demon God!!!"
Once again, deafening cheers echoed through the arena.
Announcer: "Will our star contestant Ye Ling win this duel, or will the Lord from the Void's Dark Side defy fate? Please stay tuned!"
After the announcer finished, he spoke a lot of words to hype up the atmosphere, instantly igniting the audience's enthusiasm, making the entire arena incredibly fiery.
Countless supervisors cheered for Ye Ling, which Ye Ling found incredibly strange.
"Now, let the match begin!"
As the announcer's voice fell, the spotlight around the Wuxing Demon God disappeared. The Wuxing Demon God, who had been filled with terror, seemed to have made a firm resolve and immediately charged towards Ye Ling at the fastest speed!
